If Arsene Wenger or Alex Ferguson had spent £190Million like Mourinho has do you think....?

Question

...they would have won the FA Cup or Champions League at least once?
is he the special one or an arrogant **** i know which one i think! what do you think?

i know they have won those trophies but if they were in HIS position!!!

Answer 1

i am a blues fan and if Steve Bruce had £190 million to spend amd all the money for wages, i would expect to win everything, mourinho is a decent manager, but you are right, he is an arrogant ****. and he will eventually come down to earth with a bump.

Answer 2

Managing a team full of world class player is the most difficult thing a Manager can ever encounter, no wonder Real Madrid full of great players comparing to most of club europe club haven't won anything since then...

I can tell you that Wenger never wants this challenge because they will expect you to win everything, no wonder he doesn't like the idea of selling the club because new owner always come with the idea of investing and getting their money back.

The last thing is that Mourinho has come to England for the first time and won the most difficult competition which is the premiership... So the question is; would Alex do that in Portugal?

Mourinho won the Champions League with a team that no one can ever compare to Man U and took them out of the Champions League with those unexperienced players comparing to the likes of Scholes, Giggs, Kean, Becks, Nistelrooy while Alex was the coach of Man U for more than 15 years.

Do we ever think of that?

Comparing decades Alex has coached Man U and as the richest club, do you think winning less than 5 trophies is enough?

Mourinho is not the best but in the same time no coach in england can ever say anything to him as he's done what a coach is expected to do for as long as he's in the club in a country he's never coached neither played.

Thanx!

Answer 3

Well, you can see that morinho had turn Porto into the European champs, but he still can't do it with Chelsea. Money is NOT everything. Yes, he is a good manager, but I think the chemistry in the Chelsea squad is terrible. If you see MU, Arsenal, and Liverpool they maybe don't have 190 million to spend (in 1 season or 1 transfer period), but MU now on the top of the premiership, Arsenal (although they fell down recently) got the youngster going pretty good (they went to the Carling Cup final, didn't they?), Liverpool just defeated last year European champs Barca. This is the example how money isn't everything for the top teams in the Premiership (MU, Arsenal, and Liverpool). They have won a lot of trophies and they never had the comfort of money, they had the chemistry and determination to be the champions of many cups. Unlike Chelsea who, if I remember this well, just won the Premiership after they were under the "special one" and Roman's money.

Answer 4

Well they have spent a lot of money over the uears, but i must say if Ferguson spent that amount he would have probably have one the QUAD!!!!! However if Wenger Spent that money you would have 300, 13 year olds running around..... So arsenal would win it all in about 5 years but Fergie Buys the players that are great now...... Of the Three managers Fergie Definatly knows the Crack... Jose just goes for the Huge names but dosnt take into consideration wether they can handle the Premiership......

If you gave that sought of money To Martin Jol or Rafa They would be sitting at the top as well as they both know class players when they see them!!!

Answer 5

stuart is chatting rubbish, of course United has spent a lot of money over the past few years but, it is exactly that- over a few years. Morinho has spent a lot more in a smaller space of time, Liverpool has spent more than United in the past few year, but check out where the are as compared to United who. Also, check out Arsenal who have spent much less than Lpool. Also remember that not all off Chelsea's purchases have been successful whereas other teams dont have the choice of ditching players and buyer new ones straight away.

Mourinho is a good manager and the premiership would be less of a league if he left, but lets wait 20 year to see if he is held in such high acclaim as the Great Sir Alex.

Ps. Fergie did it without the cash injection!

Answer 6

He's no special 1 nor an arrogant ****? Arsenal should've won the Champions League last year, Manchester United won it in 1999 without spending the amounts of money Chelsea do. Arsenal can win the FA Cup without spending lots of money wher Man U probably need to spend more to win it.

Answer 7

Ferguson is very shrewd when it comes to buying players and he won't stand for the over inflated figures that Mourinho has been spending. So he could afford to draft a few more players with his budget.

Wenger would spend on youth and development rather than going for lots of big name players.

In summary, Ferguson would win and Wenger would win eventually.

Answer 8

Remember Porto 2004 he spent less than Wenger and Ferguson that season ! He is confident for a reason he is the special one . Chelsea have only spent what Man yoo have but in shorter space of time ! FACT.

Answer 9

Mourinho is arrogant but his managing skills are no doubt very good. Just look at how he transformed "cheap" FC Porto into european champs!

So, money isn't everythins. It takes skill to transform a team of world-class players into a winning team.. Look at Real Madrid. Are they winning anything yet??

However, if both Arsene and Ferguson're given themoney, I'm sure they'll be able to bring in alot of talent. But whether the team will succeed depends on them. I think Ferguson'll be able to lead the team to alot of medals. But Arsene may not be able to.

Answer 10

He is obviously "The Special One".Most of the money has been spent by Romanov on players such as Ballack and Shevchenko that Mourinho didn't want and despite his interference Chelsea are in 4 competitions.
